Part 4/11:
The ongoing feud between ESPN and YouTube TV exemplifies this shift. Last week, ESPN’s channels were pulled from YouTube TV due to a carriage dispute—a fancy term for a battle over money.

But YouTube TV, which has over 10 million subscribers and is now the third-largest TV provider in the country, refuses to pay a premium for ESPN's channels.
